800 Tournaments with the Greats

by Mary Lynly

A noted lane man with the PBA for several years Len Nicholson penned the bestselling book, “My Stories and Memories of the PBA Hall of Famers.”

A proud member of the PBA Hall of Fame Len was in charge of the lane maintenance program for the PBA and involved in over 800 tournaments which gave him the opportunity to get to know every one of the PBA Hall of Famers on a personal basis. He says he drank with them, played cards with them, golfed and partied with them.

Bowler or not you will find this noted list of champions familiar but Len’s book gives you the inside look while putting a smile on your face as you go through his personal memories of these Hall of Famers.

He rubbed elbows with the greats and to name a few: he watched Dick Weber, Don Carter, Billy Hardwick, Harry Smith, Ray Bluth, and Barry Asher, bowl with rubber balls.

And, he watched Brian Voss, Pete Weber, Norm Duke, Dave Husted, Wayne Webb, Amleto Monacelli, bowl with resin and all the rest of equipment that was available.
This beautifully bound book is a great gift for friends or relatives so keep a few on hand.
